What’s good
- Stunning minimalist exterior design with flush door handles.
- Sub-2,000 cc tax bracket advantage across major engine lines.
- Cavernous 673 L cargo capacity.
- Sub-2,500 cc import duty advantage: 2.0T engine qualifies for 25% KRA excise tax rate.
- Shared EA888 engine block: Practical parts sourcing and local maintenance in Nairobi.
- Lightning-fast 7-speed PDK transmission: Instant gearshifts deliver true Porsche sports car feel.
What’s not so good
- Touchscreen controls require familiarization.
